PVC Irrigation System Update
Monday, 29 June 2009 11:42

I noticed that there was another issue with the PVC irrigation system in the front.  Originally, the PVC system was setup with the hose coming into the PVC pipe, going through a "T" piece, and then splitting off into four other PVC pipes from there - two attached with "T" pieces and the other two using 90-degree elbows on the side.  You can see a bit how it is setup here - with the main horizontal piece , the T coming in from the hose, two T's going to two other PVC pipes, and not picture on both sides - the 90-degree elbows:

Well, with the way the water pressure works, it was forcing most of the water down the very end of the horizontal PVC pipe through the two lines attached to the 90-degree elbows and therefore causing the two lines attached with the two "T" pieces to not get as much water.

So, this was corrected.  The hose is still connected to a T piece coming in which then splits off in either direction to a 90-degree elbow.  From there, each 90-degree elbow is then attached to another T piece - which splits it off into another horizontal PVC pipe.  Again, there is a 90-degree elbow on each side of this piece which forces it down each of the lines.  This way, it gets a better and more even water flow.  Here is the new finished product:

Hmm - good question. I guess if you use a hose - like shown above - to connect the system, you could use one of those screw-on miracle grow feeder things that is infused directly into the jet of water.
